1. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolutions and have been included in the "For" total.
2. A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution.
3. The total number of shares in issue at 6pm on 2 February 2015 = 243,702,001. Votes were cast in respect of 72.04% of the issued share capital.
